Spife Giveaway
August 24, 2009 | by DianaWe have tried out the spifes and they are winners, and the best tool for eating kiwi for lunch. I keep one in my desk and have one at home. My son will take one to school on days he eats kiwi for lunch. Before the spife he wouldn’t consider kiwi for lunch because it was too messy. Kiwis are so good for you too.
According to Zespri – Kiwifruit are great sources of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, folic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids and other antioxidants. They also have a low glycaemic index (GI) and are low in fat – so they’re perfect to eat every day to assist with natural protection.
Zespri offered to giveaway a pack of spifes to one person commenting on our site. So comment away, tell us what you think of a spife – would you send it to school with your child for lunches? Would you use it yourself? An extra entry for a tweet.
Giveaway closes on August 26th, midnight, EST.
Off to School Again – Lunch Essentials
August 23, 2009 | by DianaToday, we dropped my daughter off at College, and my son starts his senior year on Wednesday. My daughter is an organized person who learned from last year. I know someone who packs her daughter up for college and packs up the dorm to come home in the spring. Not me, college girl knows that I expect her to be responsible for all of her stuff. She made her own list for the things she needed. My son is also in charge of picking out his own lunch stuff and getting it into the cart at the store. Here are some things that we have use for this year.
Peanut Butter – This is definitely on our list. I really feel for those parents who’s kids can’t eat peanut butter as it is something we always have on hand.
Earth Balance has a peanut butter that uses agave syrup which is a lower glycemic sweetener and contains flaxseed that provides the Omega3s …
Fruit Pizza
June 5, 2009 | by DianaThis week we had our track awards picnic. We needed something easy to make, but also easy to handle. From previous experience, I knew there might not be plates or plastic ware to eat with. The coach doesn’t assign, just says bring something. The coaches provide pizza. My son received an award for each of the records his relay teams were responsible for setting. He also received the Coaches Award. he didn’t have the most points, but he was up there and also worked hard at every practice and showed up for every meet. He was one of the four kids on the team to go to Regionals. Anyway, we made this quick and easy treat – my son started it, and my daughter and I helped to slice and throw the fruit on before we left. 
Ingredients:
- 2 packages of sugar cookie dough
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- Kiwi
